The WDSS improves defensive capacity against web application layer DDoS attack by using web cache server and L7 switch which are added on the DDoS shelter system. When web DDoS attack occurs, security agents divert traffic from backbone network to sub-network of the WDSS and then DDoS protection device and L7 switch block abnormal packets. In the meantime, web cache server responds only to requests of normal clients and maintains stable web service. In this way, the WDSS can counteract the web DDoS attack which generates small traffic and depletes server-client session resource. Furthermore, the WDSS does not require IP tunneling because it is not necessary to retransfer the normal requests to original web server. In this paper, we validate operation of the WDSS and verify defensive capability against web application layer DDoS attacks. In order to do this, we built the WDSS on backbone network of an ISP. And we performed web DDoS tests by using a testing system that consists of zombie PCs. The tests were performed by three types and various amounts of web DDoS attacks. Test results suggest that the WDSS can detect small traffic of the web DDoS attacks which do not have repeat flow whereas the formal DDoS shelter system cannot.

DDoS 대피소 시스템은 백본 네트워크의 연동구간에서 공격 대상 서버로 유입되는 DDoS 트래픽의 경로를 변경하여 공격성 패킷은 차단하고 정상적인 패킷은 원래의 경로로 전송함으로써 서비스의 연속성을 보장하는 보안 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 DDoS 대피소 시스템의 구성에 L7 스위치와 웹 캐시서버를 추가적으로 구성하고 클라이언트의 요청을 웹 캐시서버에서 처리하도록 하여 소규모 트래픽을 이용한 웹 어플리케이션 계층 세션 고갈형 DDoS(Web DDoS) 공격을 효과적으로 방어할 수 있으며, IP 터널링 없이도 서비스를 지속할 수 있는 L7 계층 Web DDoS 대피소 시스템을 제안한다.

This paper presents the analytic model of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks in two settings: the normal Web server without any attack and the Web server with DDoS attacks. In these settings, we measure TCP flag rate, which is expressed in terms of the ratio of the number of TCP flags, i.e., SYN, ACK, RST, etc., packets over the total number of TCP packets, and Protocol rate, which is defined by the ratio of the number of TCP (UDP or ICMP) packets over the total number of W packets. The experimental results show a distinctive and predictive pattern of DDoS attacks. We wish our approach can be used to detect and prevent DDoS attacks.

Recently, network based DDoS attacks have been changed into application layer DDoS attacks which are targeted at the web services. Specially, an attacker makes zombie PCs generate small traffic and its traffic pattern has been similar to the normal user's pattern. So, existing HTTP PPS based Threshold cannot defend the DDoS attacks effectively. In this paper, we displayed all the GET Flooding attack types and propose three DDoS attack defense mechanisms which are simple and very powerful. Proposed mechanisms can defend all the existing GET Flooding DDoS attacks and be deployed in the real environment immediately with little resource consumption.

As the number of online systems based on the internet gradually increases, cyber-scale attacks that interfere with the normal operation of web services are also on the rise. In particular, distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) that interfere with normal web service operations are also increasing. Therefore, this paper presents an efficient DDoS attack defense technique utilizing Equal Cost Multi-Path (BGP ECMP) routing techniques in networks of Anycast type by operating PoP basis of major attack sources and describes how high-availability web services can be operated.

Task environment for enterprises and public institutions are moving into cyberspace-based environment and structing the LTE wireless network. The applications "App" operated in the LTE wireless network are mostly being developed with Android-based. But Android-based malwares are surging and they are the potential DDoS attacks. DDoS attack is a major information security threat and a means of cyber attacks. DDoS attacks are difficult to detect in advance and to defense effectively. To this end, a DMZ is set up in front of a network infrastructure and a particular server for defensive information security. Because There is the proliferation of mobile devices and apps, and the activation of android diversify DDoS attack methods. a DMZ is a limit to detect and to protect against DDoS attacks. This paper proposes an information security method to detect and Protect DDoS attacks from the terminal phase using a Preemptive military strategy concept. and then DDoS attack detection and protection app is implemented and proved its effectiveness by reducing web service request and memory usage. DDoS attack detection and protecting will ensure the efficiency of the mobile network resources. This method is necessary for a continuous usage of a wireless network environment for the national security and disaster control.

네트워크 대역폭 소모 위주로 발생했던 DDoS 공격이 최근에는 웹서비스 대상 시스템 부하 유발을 통해 가용성을 떨어뜨리는 응용계층에서의 DDoS 공격 위주로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 DDoS 공격에 대응하기 위해 History, IP 분산도, GRT, Behavior 기반 등 다양한 대응 메커니즘이 연구되고 있지만 연구초기 단계에 머물러 있다. 본 논문에서는 Admission Control 기반 DDoS 공격대응 메커니즘을 제안하고, 시스템 개발을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 제안된 메커니즘은 지금까지 발생한 모든 응용계층 DDoS 공격유형에 대응 가능하며, 기존 Behavior 기반 대응기법은 오탐지 가능성이 있으나 제안하는 메커니즘은 오탐지가 발생하지 않는 장점이 있어, 상용 환경에 바로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

DDoS (Distributed Denial Service, Distributed Service) attacks are being generated for a constant threat on the Internet, countermeasures for this have been proposed. However, the problem has become an increasingly effective instruction in any Measures are a variety of attacks and sophisticated attacks. Attackers can change a steady attack tools to respond to these, the experts as a countermeasure to this constantly research for a fresh attack. This paper is to introduce countermeasures to DDoS recent representative examples of 7.7DDoS and look for 3.3DDoS existing types of DDoS attacks increased PPS attacks, high traffic sent, web service delay and router and firewall settings, applications and to describe the DDoS countermeasures research by certification, is so that you can plan effectively for the future DDoS attacks proposed method.

Application-layer Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is one of the leading security problems in the Internet. In recent years, the attack strategies of application-layer DDoS have rapidly developed. This paper introduces a new attack strategy named Path Vulnerabilities-Based (PVB) attack. In this attack strategy, an attacker first analyzes the contents of web pages and subsequently measures the actual response time of each webpage to build a web-resource-weighted-directed graph. The attacker uses a Top M Longest Path algorithm to find M DDoS vulnerable paths that consume considerable resources when sequentially accessing the pages following any of those paths. A detection mechanism for such attack is also proposed and discussed. A finite-state machine is used to model the dynamical processes for the state of the user's session and monitor the PVB attacks. Numerical results based on real-traffic simulations reveal the efficiency of the attack strategy and the detection mechanism.

DDoS attacks have became as a social threat since 2009 7.7 DDoS turmoil. Even though defence techniques have been developing to provide against those threats, they become much more sophisticate. In recent years, the attack form of DDoS is changing from high amount of traffic attack of network layers to highly sophisticate small amount of application layers. To make matters worse, attack agent for the attack has became very intelligent so that it is difficult to be blocked since it can't be distinguished from normal PCs. In the user authentication system(such as CAPTCHA) User intervention is required to distinguish normal PCs and intelligent attack agents and in particular, in a NAT environment, IP-based blocking method can be cut off the normal users traffic at the same time. This research examined defense techniques which are able to distinguish between agent and normal PC and effectively block ways the HTTP DDoS offense applying one-time session key based authentication method using Cookie which is used in HTTP protocol to protect web sever from sophisticate application layer of DDoS.
